Well done! Here in Sonoma, my little town had about 300+/- people at the Town Square. There were many and different signs paraded by many people of all kinds. All of the signs shared the same sentiments as Nameless has shown here on the page.

Brilliant. I tip my hat to you, Nameless.
Thanks, Nameless!
